A doctor based in Clarksville, Pennsylvania, was sentenced on Thursday to six months in prison, as well as a year of supervised release after that, and a fine of $5,000, for an opioid scheme.
The 46-year-old also had to surrender his medical license, as well as his Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) certificate of registration. He also agreed not to re-apply for the certificate to dispense any Schedule II controlled substances.
